Hosta of the Day - 'Northern Exposure'
Hosta 'Northern Exposure' has large blue green leaves with a wide yellow margin that turns cream as summer progresses. This is a sport of hosta 'Elegans' which can grow to be a giant. The leaves also have a great corrugate texture to them, which makes them more slug resistant. It can be used as a substitute for hosta 'Frances Williams' which burns easily in the sun. Pair this one with green, gold, or variegated hostas.
